Engage your earliest readers with these nonfiction animal introductions! In Hedgehogs, emergent readers learn how hedgehogs live in the forest and use their quills to stay safe. Carefully crafted text, high-frequency words, repetitive sentence patterns, and strong visual references support emergent readers. Hedgehogs includes tools for caregivers as well as introductory nonfiction features such as labels, a table of contents, words to know, index, and review questions. Hedgehogs is part of Jump!'s My First Animal Books series.
